[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 360415, member: 9240"] Ever wonder if the "red" your eye sees is [I]really[/I] red, or is it your brain telling you it's red because of where it is and your expectations? The LED's used in the lights are not colored, only the glass they shoot through is. The older the red on the glass, the more faded. Take a look at the Traffic Light page on Wikipedia - lots of orange colored "red lights". I suspect there's not a lot you can do about it outside of selective hue correction in post. Don't walk lights have always, in my experience, been somewhere between red and orange. [/QUOTE]
